Founding Design Engineer — Conduit
Location: San Francisco
This role is posted on behalf of the following client:
They are building the FactoryOS that will allow manufacturers to scale production-ready automation solutions in minutes, not months. With a suite of powerful applications, they allow manufacturers to automate faster and smarter by interoperably coordinating every robot, machine, and system on one platform.

Backed by leading investors, and built by a team that moves at startup speed with deep conviction in American industrial dominance.
Job Summary
They are seeking a
Founding Design Engineer
, you will shape the visual and interaction DNA of a next-generation automation platform redefining how factories modernize. You'll design the foundational product experience that connects engineers, operators, and machines through a unified orchestration layer — creating intuitive, elegant interfaces that make complex automation seamless and human-centered. Your work will set the standard for how users see, touch, and understand automation itself.
Responsibilities
● Design how humans interact with robots. You'll create the interfaces, gestures, and
feedback loops that define the future relationship between people and machines — from
mobile robots on the floor to analytics dashboards in the cloud.
● Shape the core product language. From early conceptual sketches to high-fidelity
interfaces, you'll define the design system and interaction principles that scale across
Conduit's ecosystem — from fleet control to mission planning to AI-assisted insights.
● Design workflows that feel inevitable. You'll translate complex industrial processes
into intuitive, visual logic — building interfaces that make data, devices, and automation
feel human and alive.
● Prototype relentlessly. You'll bring ideas to life through motion, mockups, and working
prototypes that validate and inspire.
● Lead with insight. You'll partner closely with our forward-deployed engineers and
customers on factory floors, gathering insights directly from the people who run
automation every day.
● Bridge design and engineering. You'll collaborate with software and robotics engineers
to ship elegant, performant designs — fluent enough in HTML, CSS, TypeScript, and
component systems to make the possible real.
Requirements
● A founder-mindset designer — you care about building a platform from first principles,
not just polishing pixels.
● Fluent in interaction design, visual hierarchy, and storytelling through interfaces.
● Experienced with prototyping and motion tools (Figma, Framer, or similar).
● Comfortable in technical, high-context environments — you love learning how systems
actually work.
● Excited by the idea of being the first — establishing the creative north star for a platform
that will define modern manufacturing.
What We Offer
● Top tier compensation and equity
● Working closely with CTO and CEO
● Hands-on experience with cutting-edge robotics technology
